We warmly welcome you to worship and praise The LORD our GOD with us as a visitor or new member. We are located in the heart of the historic Orange Mound community of Memphis, Tennessee, at the corner of Pendleton and Barron.

Since 1924, St. John Missionary Baptist Church has been on a mission of “Seeking Sinners, Teaching the Saved and Nurturing the Saints.” Click here to learn more about our Church History. Today, with 13 active ministries, we are still working toward our vision of “Creating an atmosphere where sinners are saved, where the saved are educated and where caring is commonplace.”

St. John is impacting lives every day by introducing souls to the Savior, JESUS CHRIST.

There is a place for everyone at St. John. Our Auxiliaries include the Board of Christian Education, Deacon Board, Gospel Choir, Health Ministry, Male Chorus, Missionary Ministry, Mother Board, Christian Nurture, Usher Ministries #1 and #2, Sunday School, Trustee Board, and the Youth Department.

We are a body of Christian believers, under the direction of Dr. James E. Delaney, who has served as pastor for 31 years, leading us in the Baptist beliefs.
